MISCELLANEOUS * (2019/08/21) Angie Shum Yat Ka in her first starring role BINDING SOULS (BONG LING) was fortunately enough to work with Best Actress Kara Wai Ying Hung. She admitted that she was very happy as she played students with Carlos Chan Ka Lok and others while Wai Ying Hung played a former school employee. She said, "Working with Sister Hung of course I was super nervous! In one scene I had lines to say to her, I was shaking. Her presence truly was very sharp. She would always sense that I was very tense and tell me, 'It's just acting, the more nervous you are the harder acting would be!' She just kept telling me to relax like that, but I had a very hard time with it. I have never worked with such a heavyweight elder before. It was a great learning experience. I hope in the future I would have more scenes with elders." * (2019/08/21) Nick Cheung Ka Fai and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai) after 15 years worked together again on the film BODIES AT REST (CHUM MUK DIK JING YUN). The Ka Fai played forensic scientist ran into an evidence stealing thief Siu Chai on Christmas Eve and had close combat in the morgue and car chase outside. Ka Fai at Central drove fast and crashed a car. He even had to shoot a wet scene on the coldest days. Even "spectator" Siu Chai could not help but called Ka Fai "life risking". Siu Chai thanked Hollywood action director Renny Harlin for his effort on this production because unlike other foreign films that came to Hong Kong to shoot the market for nostalgia but the prettiest side of Hong Kong this time. "We were at the Kwai Chung morgue, but he deliberately chose to shoot the car chase by the Central harbor and add into the beautiful Hong Kong night scenery. He was very thoughtful." Jumping out of the morgue to race and crash at Central, Ka Fai had to drive in a circle and crashed with 4 cars. With the rain making the road slippery, Ka Fai was trapped in the car and bounced around like a pin ball. Finally after a few rolls it stopped. Because the shoot took place in the winter, the morning with the strong Central harbor wind the temperature was only in single digit. Ka Fai's body temperature almost dropped to freezing point. For different angles he was completely soaked then rapidly blown dry, then wet again and dried again. He performed professionally despite the exhaustion. As soon as the director yelled cut the crew rushed in and "rescued" Ka Fai out of the car. They also handed him towels and hot team to keep him warm. The awe struck Siu Chai treated everyone to piping hot dessert and cheered on Ka Fai and team. Ka Fai helplessly said, "Making a movie is the toughest, on the coldest days rain and diving scenes would take place. Then the next day the temperature would climb back up again." Siu Chai also called Ka Fai "life risking", soaked in the rained, crashing around inside the car, and getting tossed onto a table during their fight scene. "Originally I was hurting all over when I hit Ka Fai, but after watching the playback, Ka Fai told me to do it again harder!" Ka Fai praised Siu Chai for acting with a mask on through, the physical performance was difficult in other ways. * (2019/08/21) The Sammi Cheng Sau Man starred film FAGARA (FA JIU JI MEI) will open on Mid Autumn Festival on September 12th. The Sammi performed film theme song GOOD TALK's music video was also officially released. During the shoot, Sammi looked back at the sisterhood with Megan Lai and Li Xiaofeng in the film as well as Easter eggs with "guest starring" friends Andy Lau Tak Wa and Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), all of which left Sammi with many unforgettable memories. Guest stars Wa Jai and Siu Chai were Sammi's former co-stars. Siu Chai and Sammi worked together again 16 years after MARRY A RICH MAN (GA GOR YAU CHIN YUN). Sammi said, "Siu Chai would always be this friendly, as soon as I see him my heart would feel very warm." Siu Cha in the film played a warm hearted doctor who was assigned to help her mentally. As for Wa Jai he and Sammi have played husband and wife countless times. She said, "Although Wa Jai just guest starred in a few scenes that were mainly about love and family, men really are from Mars and women from Venus. Even when we were talking about the same topic, at a certain spot we couldn't continue. For anyone who was facing how to maintain a couple relationship, they definitely could relate and smile from the heart." Sammi and her first time co-stars Megan Lai and Li Xiaofeng got along famously. Sammi gave credit to the good director and the good script. "The script has a lot of tears within laughter. I built real relationships with two little sisters and I really missed them. Thus when the movie wrapped my emotions were very mixed. I was happy on one hand over finally finishing the film, but on the other I really missed the character. When I got into it, their laughter, experience or tears, all of the emotions were real. It was like a freeze frame. Although it was our first collaboration, the process had a lot of good memories." The three half sisters met for the first time at their father's funeral and had to resolve problems together as their relationships rapidly grew. Behind the camera they got along famously and very quickly got into characters. Their relationships were deeper than the on screen sisters, as they even laughed and cried together. Sammi said, "The film had a lot of memorable funny scenes, but when the major emotional scene was shot we gave each other the energy to perform and even affected each other with our tears. When everyone tossed out real feelings, the story would be very entertaining and characters would become real flesh and blood." * (2019/08/21) Veteran actress Ha Ping (originally named Lo Siu Ping) passed away on the 5th at age 81. Yesterday morning at 9 AM the funeral took place at the Universal Funeral Parlor. Friends Lau Kong, Cheung Kwok Keung, Anderson Junior (On Tak Juen) and godson Gordon Lam Ka Tung also came to send Ha Ping on her final journey. The ceremony was Buddhist. After the funeral was completed, Ha Ping's photo was carried by a male relative as the coffin was transported to the Tseung Kwan O cemetery for burial. Godson Lam Ka Tung looked saddened but not as emotional as two nights ago. He focused on arranging transport for family and friends and other chores. The hearse arrived at the cemetery around 10 AM. At the start of the burial ceremony Ka Tung first threw out offerings for Godmother to be on her journey at peace. Family and friends then presented incense sticks one after another. After the ceremony, everyone leapt over the fire in a basin and cleansed themselves with pummelo leaves. Ka Tung declined to comment and left without speaking to the media. * (2019/08/20) Michelle Wai Sze Nga, Alex Lam Tak Shun and Richard Ng Yiu Hon worked on Malaysian director Lee Yung Cheung's horror film WALK WITH ME (SEUNG WON). For the horror atmosphere, the film was shot on location at one of the most haunted house there. Wai Sze Nga said that the shoot ran into many supernatural events. "I worked for more than half a month at the haunted house, the more we shot the more something felt wrong. Stuff would fall in the middle of the shoot, shadows could be seen at the corner of the eye. In several scenes an actor had to play being possessed. We were very scared. The director was afraid that something would happen. During the shoot a master followed us around. The master saw that I was getting more and more scared, so he gave me a charm." However, Lam Tak Shun was afraid of Sze Nga instead. In the film they had an underwater fight scene that took 7 hours. "I knew Sze Nga was very focused on her acting, but she was also very clumsy. I was afraid that she would hurt or kill me by accident. Luckily underwater she had a lot more to keep in mind, so she was not as focused and I was more at ease." Ng Yiu Hon scared himself. His character was often drunk and hit his daughter Sze Nga. "In one scene I had to be very vicious as I strangled her, the director told me that this scene did not need to be rehearsed. The feeling after any rehearsal would be different. During the shoot I didn't just frightened Sze Nga to tears but also scared myself with how violent I could be!" * (2019/08/20) Kyoto Animation last month was the target of arson that left 35 dead. Kyoto Animation's Hong Kong distributor Neofilms yesterday issued a statement that the company would like to help Kyoto Animation. On Sunday, August 25th, it would hold a charity fund raising sale at Comic World at the Kowloon Bay International Trade and Exhibition Center. All of the proceeds will be donated to Kyoto Anime for victim and survivor relief and the reconstruction of Kyoto Anime. Neofilms will at the sixth floor CM24 stall sell video, manga and anime products of FREE!, LOVE CHUNIBYO AND OTHER DELUSIONS and A SILENT VOICE, and charity advanced screening tickets to SOUND! EUPHONIUM -- OUR PROMISE: A BRAND NEW DAY. * (2019/08/20) Taiwan actor Tsao Yu-Ning and former Hey Girl member Esther Huang starred in the horror film BINDING SOUL (BONG LING). New comer Tsao Yu-Ning said that the performance had a certain degree of difficulty. "The film had many emotional upheaval and internal scenes." When he got to the set and saw an abandoned school and dormitory with the eerie and terrifying props and lighting, he could not help but say to himself, "I am really making a ghost film!" Esther played two characters, a rebellious but sexy student and a mild mannered teacher. She admitted, "The two characters have huge personality differences, which make the performance difficult." However the true test was when she first got the horror film script. The more she read it the more afraid she became. Since she was afraid of running into anything supernatural, she carried the Bible around. * (2019/08/20) Veteran actor Anthony Lau Wing has not appeared in Hong Kong for a long time. The LITTLE Q (SIU Q)'s script and director Law Wing Cheong motivated him to play Simon Yam Tat Wa's neighbor and return to Hong Kong film. Lau Wing stated that he missed the Hong Kong audience. Although he has been working in the Mainland in recent years, he absolutely would not mind returning to work in Hong Kong with a good script. Lau Wing in the past has worked with Brother Wa many times already. This time he also would have to work with a guide dog. He received training from the guide dog association, and Little Q who has learned to properly communicate with people was very obedient. "I was very happy to work with animals, which really tested my patience. Director Law also worked with a lot of patience and effort." Lau Wing said that he used to have two dogs. When they passed he was heartbroken, like he just lost family members. He said that he has been working in the Mainland, in the future he would like to return to Hong Kong to make movies that he liked if the opportunity would rise. With great word of mouth, LITTLE Q after its release had a descriptive video service and soundtrack overlap. While watching the audience not only heard the original actor dialogues but also a narration. Although the cinema already made the correction immediately, the film company and the director were very sorry for any inconvenience it has caused. Director Law Wing Cheong said, "LITTLE Q has a special descriptive video service for the 180,000 vision impaired people in Hong Kong to be able to watch this film at the movies with the audience. The description for the vision impaired was accidentally played at the same time a cinema, leading to two soundtracks being heard. Although the correction was made immediately and followed up, we are still very sorry for the affected audience. The cinema would also be more alert to prevent any further mishap." * (2019/08/20) Veteran actress Ha Ping (originally named Lo Siu Ping) on August 5th passed away due to illness at age 81. Yesterday services began at the Universal Funeral Parlor. After a 9AM funeral the next morning, she would be buried at the Tseung Kwan O cemetery. Last night mourners included Cheung Kwok Keung, Patrick Tse Yin, Louis Yuen Siu Fai, Suet Nei and her husband Tong Kai, Yuen Qiu, Mak Cheung Ching, Chin Siu Ho, Ben Wong Chi Yin, Helena Law Lan and others. Godson Gordon Lam Ka Tung was very emotional. When he mentioned Godmother he could not help but succumb to tears. Ha Ping's funeral would be a Buddhist ceremony, the hall was simply and cleanly decorated. A color photo was placed at the center with a banner overhead. In the middle were heart shaped floral arrangements from Ha Ping's children, grandchildren and Lam Ka Tung. Her family were present early and Ka Tung around 4:10PM arrived. 20 minutes later he came to speak to the press, during which he got emotional and broke down many times. He revealed that they would follow Godmother's wishes and arrange for a burial. "Godmother said that she wanted a burial. Although she sometimes would say the opposite of what she meant, she was very afraid of fire. Thus we would arrange for a burial." As for the discrepancy over her age, Ka Tung said, "Godmother said that she was 81, in order to work in Hong Kong she reported herself as older. I just went by what she said. Actually I wouldn't ask her too much because she was rather stubborn. If she didn't tell me I wouldn't ask. I just listened to however old she said she was." Ka Tung revealed that Godmother suffered a stroke at the end of July. Since she already had diabetes and high blood pressure, she had complications. At her age she could only use medication to reduce her pain. Ka Tung began to choke up as he said, "When I found out that she was ailing I was working in Yunnan. I asked the doctor to do his best until I return. In the end she toughed out two weeks with the support of medication and I was able to return to see her one last time. From our television days to now we have known each other for over two decades. She always cursed her out, I really admired her passion and directness. I was the happiest when we kept greeting everyone with foul language at work. She also cared about me alot, she would help me scratch mosquito bites like a mother with her child." Ka Tung was emotional and sobbed. As for Godmother's final wish, he said, "She was always concerned about what would happen after she passed. I told her not to. I was around so I could always keep her company. Actually as early as ten years ago I already wanted to arrange for her to move into a senior home, she declined though. Finally she fell and no one knew for 10 hours. I immediately contacted To Sir (To Kei Fung) because the TVB alumni association held a senior home. In the end we arranged for her to move in after three days, but she would always say what would happen when she passed. I told her to keep clam, since she was able to call me her son and she my mother, I would take care of her until the end." He wiped tears from his eyes again. Those who came to pay their respect included Cheung Kwok Keung, Patrick Tse Yin, Louis Yuen Siu Fai, Suet Nei and her husband Tong Kai, Yuen Qiu, Mak Cheung Ching, Chin Siu Ho, Ben Wong Chi Yin, Cheung Wing Hong, Helena Law Lan and others. Tse Yin came to salute Ha Ping and bid her a final farewell. He stayed for almost half a hour and left. He said to the press, "I don't have much to say, we have been buddies for many years. I haven't made a series for a long time, we used to be together alot. (Your impression of Ha Ping?) What do you want me to tell, she and I both were very playful." Cheung Kwok Keung arrived around 5PM. After paying his respect he spoke to the press. "During Ha Ping's ten days at the hospital, I stayed by her side. When she passed her family, Ka Tung and I as well as one or two people in the business were with her. Seeing her pass peacefully, everyone felt comforted. When she was critical, Ka Tung was working in the Mainland. We kept encouraging her to wait for Ka Tung. When she saw Ka Tung she was at peace and passed away the next morning. From that you could see her perseverance." KK pointed out that Ha Ping has not felt well. Earlier because of a fall the nursing home rushed her to the hospital. Due to the trauma and a second stroke that was even more severe than her first, and all the complications from age, in the end she persisted at the hospital for ten days. As for his memories of Ha Ping, KK said, "I have many, Sister Ha Ping in a series played my mother. We often chatted and joked around. Sometimes I would see that she was not so mobile on the set, I would drive her home after work. She was very interesting, very funny and direct. She was quite a role model. Her humor would always leave everyone not knowing whether to laugh or to cry." KK said that he and Ka Tung went to the viewing and chatted with Sister Ha Ping and saw that she looked more peaceful and even prettier than usual. Many in the industry sent floral arrangements like Andy Lau Tak Wa, Leon Lai Ming, Johnnie To Kei Fung, Dayo Wong Tze Wa, Wu Fung, Sean Lau Ching Wan and his wife, Chin Kar Lok and his wife, Sandra Ng Kwan Yu, Tse Yin, Liza Wang Ming Chuen and Law Kar Ying, Ng Man Tat and others. * (2019/08/20) Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), Roger Kwok Chun On, Ron Ng Cheuk Hei and Carlos Chan Ka Lok two nights ago attended the new film BODIES AT REST (CHUM MUK DIK JING YUN)'s premiere. On the stage Ka Fai pointed at the villain and dressed in yellow Ka Lok and joked, "You are 'yellowed'!" In the film Ka Fai played a forensic scientist and had many action scenes with the criminal Siu Chai. Ka Fai pointed out that he did not expect how highly responsive Siu Chai was to stunts and he was greatly surprised. He also said that the film company boss could consider Siu Chai for an action film next time. Siu Chai said that Ka Fai was very attentive, before the shoot he would rehearse the fight scene. He said that due to the cold climate he injured his muscle tendon and had to walk with a cane for several months. The team accommodated him with dramatic scenes first. Ka Fai said that when he made UNBEATABLE (GIK JIN) he broke his finger before reaching the heart of the shoot. Earlier Ka Fai reportedly has been so busy with work that he neglected his wife Esther Kwan Wing Ho and their daughter. Ka Fai joked that they were already used to it. He said that if he would have to work for a long time, when he got home he would take them out to eat. Did he take his daughter anyway to spend her summer vacation? Ka Fai said, "This year has been somewhat regrettable, we couldn't go on vacation because I have a lot of work on hand." Siu Chai said that lately although he has been busy with his concert, he still took time to be with his family. Ka Fai pointed out that Siu Cha often had many outdoors activities and jokingly asked if he would take him along next time. Siu Chai said that next time he would like to go to the desert and would be able to bring Ka Fai with him. Kwok Chun On in the film played a security guard. He said that the director demanded perfection. "The director hoped that I would appear to be 'gay but not', I thought for awhile about how to perform. Actually in the scene I was drunk. I didn't really drink, I just used acting to make up for it. The director was very patient with the actors. The director would say very good but actually it was less than satisfactory. He would not accept a take until he would say well done." Ng Cheuk Hei also praised the director's professionalism. Each time before the shoot he would want them to have a table read then listen to the translator's explanation for an understanding of the content of the day's shoot. He said that the film had many action scenes. Was he injured? He said, "The one I hit was hurt, as he fell onto a nail and blood all over his face. At the time I was very scared." * (2019/08/19) Anthony Wong Yiu Ming, Denise Ho Wan Si, Tommy Yuen Man On, Gregory Wong Chung Hiu and others yesterday participated in the protest. Wong Yiu Ming said that as long as the government does not respond to the five pleas, Hong Kong people would continue their protests. As for rumors of the Liberation Army's intervention rumors, he felt that they were threats against Hong Kong people. If the rumors were truly, they meant that the central government would destroy one nation, two systems. Ho Wan Si also felt that the Liberation Army rumors were a way to spread fear. She felt that the road of resistance would require a clear thinking and evaluation. About artists who expressed their patriotism, Yuen Man On said that since they did not stand on the side of Hong Kong people at this critical situation, they would not need to be remembered with any fondness. Wong Yiu Ming yesterday appeared at Victoria Park in support. Speaking of the recent government announcement of multiple "candy distribution" financial relief policies, he pointed out that the people of Hong Kong would not be bribed. As long as the government does not respond to the five pleas, he would continue to march. Yesterday would not be the last time. As for the numerous rumors that the Liberation Army would intervene, he felt that it was not-so-smart idea to threaten citizens. If they were true, the central government would destroy one nation, two systems. The Civil Human Rights Front's "end mob violence and police brutality" march request was not approved and changed to an event at Victoria Park. Ho Wan Si felt that the government was stripping Hong Kong people's rights, and the police at the same was using brutality to suppress and harm citizens. History would remember these events. She pointed out that the government and the police's use of abnormal methods to suppress people's voices, and Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet Ngor's elitist and arrogant attitude each time she appeared could not possibly calm the people. As for the military police's anti terrorism drill videos, Ho Wan Si said that they were acts of white terror, used to silence the people and spread fear. She felt that the road of resistance required clear thinking and evaluation. Yuen Man On said that in the past week he did alot to spread the word online and call for even more Hong Kong people to take to the streets. "Today probably over 1 million people would come out, a conservative estimate would be 800,000 people. Even the pouring rain wouldn't stop everyone's determination, as everyone would cheer each other on." As for the growing number of artists expressing their patriotism, he said, "I think this phenomenon is very sad because many Hong Kong people grew up watching them, yet they knelt down for some gains and system. They have disappointed fans who have supported them over the years. You can go back on some things. Since under this critical situation they still decide not to stand with the people of Hong Kong, no one needs to remember them with any fondness." Wong Chung Hiu yesterday distributed parkas and towels to people in Causeway Bay. He said that he did it out of his conscience and could live with himself, even if he would suffer Mainland internet violence. * (2019/08/19) Best Actress Kara Wai Ying Hung, Carlos Chan Ka Lok, Taiwan actor Tsao Yu-Ning and others starred in the horror film BINDING SOUL (BONG LING) and even went to an abandoned school, a popular haunted location in Thailand, for a location shoot. Chan Ka Lok admitted that this time the production atmosphere was a little frightening. Most Hong Kong productions would conduct a simple worship and roast pig cutting ceremony, instead the production start ceremony in Thailand was quite a big deal. Masters were invited to recite scriptures and everything was very solemn. After the blessing everyone had to carry a coin, which made him think whether the location was very haunted. He said, "This abandoned school looked very clean, but why would it become abandoned? I never dared to ask, as I didn't let myself get too curious! However for the official shoot I wouldn't be too afraid, many people were on the set. When I got back to the hotel I would be scared, as I have heard many strange stories about Thailand and Malaysia." Working with Wai Ying Hung again, Chan Ka Lok received praises from her over his improvement. He said that this time he communicated more with the young actors to coordinate with the performance, whereas before he would only just look at the script. "Now I would interact with everyone. This time most of the actors spoke Cantonese. Only Tsao Yu-Ning spoke Putonghua, so I would take care of him good." Tsao Yu-Ning said that during the shoot he did not run into anything supernatural, on the other hand in real life something strange happened but he could not tell either it was a dream or reality. He said, "One day I was very tired so I went to sleep. Halfway through I saw a child standing at the door at home, without a face and completely white. The strangest was that it suddenly ran over and strangled me with both arms. It was the first time I felt that I would soon die! Later Mama woke me because she heard me in pain. Luckily Mama was at home, I felt very scared!" Working with Wai Ying Hung for the first time, he admitted that he was very scared as he sensed her enormous presence. Her eyes were also very sharp. "Actually I wanted to see Sister Hung, then Sister Hung suddenly looked over! Wow, that was very scary! However Sister Hung gave me some advice. Because I spoke Putonghua, during he shoot Sister Hung knew I didn't understand Cantonese. However she said that was no excuse, as I should memorize my and others' lines. I should also perform some reactions because she discovered that my mind was blank and I couldn't follow. I wouldn't be unhappy, instead I felt like I learned alot." Currently single, Yu-Ning said that he wanted to find a Hong Kong girl, learn Cantonese so in the future he would understand when he would work with Hong Kong actors. * (2019/08/19) DEAREST ANITA recently at Canada's 7th Vancouver Chinese Film Festival won 4 awards. Aside from the Best Cantonese Film of the Year, lead Myolie Wu Hung Yi won Best Actress, Sonija Kwok Sin Nei won New Popularity award and directors Clifton Ko Chi Sum and Leung Pak Ho won Best Director. Ko Chi Sum said, "The most important is Wu Hung Yi's award. She just had a baby, now she won Best Actress. Congratulations to her on double the happiness." Because Hung Yi had to be with her baby she was not able to attend but she prepared some words that in case she won she would ask Ko Chi Sum to read for her. Hung Yi in her speech wanted to thank the director the most for asking her to play this character, as well as all of the Mui Nation members. In the end she wanted to thank Sister Mui (Anita Mui Yim Fong). She said that she never thought about winning an award during the shoot. She was already very happy to be a part of the film and very honored that overseas viewers were able to see this film. * (2019/08/15) Simon Yam Tat Wa last month was attacked at an event in Zhongshan and suffered injuries to his abdomen and 4 fingers. After over half a month of recovery, last Sunday he already returned to work to promote his film LITTLE Q (SIU Q) in Guangzhou. Last night he again promoted the film and made his first officially appearance in Hong Kong after the injury. The film LITTLE Q opens today in Hong Kong. Brother Wa, Tang Siu Hau and others last night attended the LITTLE Q screenings for the visually impaired. At the ceremony, the film company arranged for guide dogs to participate and asked students from the Ebenezer School and Home for the Visually Impaired to host. Visually impaired Lau Yik Keung also performed WALK WITH YOU with the film's Tang Siu Hau. Brother Wa appeared to be in a decent shape but two fingers of his right hand were still bandaged and his arm was still in a sling. He had two bodyguards, not as much as 80 in Guangzhou. Brother Wa said, "Thank you friends for your concern for me, to my wife and daughter as they got thinner while taking care of me. I am very touched. My TOMB RAIDER sequel co-star Angelina Jolie also sent a text, which made me feel that the entire world is full of love. My wife Qi Qi and friends bought a lot of stuff for me to eat, and my daughter personally made desserts that were very sweet to me inside." Brother Wa said, "Last week I started physical therapy, which would take half a year to 9 months. I would have to wear the sling for 8 to 10 more weeks before I can take it off. Although the incident happened almost a month ago, I still am not completely healed. However I really like LITTLE Q so I want to attend and show my support." After his injury Brother Wa had to stop exercising, but he had a lot of soup for nourishment. He gained over a pound from it. Brother Wa happily said, "I received consolation from many years, in particular was goddess Angelina Jolie. After reading the news she was very concerned about my condition and texted me. I thanked her in my reply. Many French and European fans sent their well wishes through my manager. I would also like to thank some doctor friends and boss Yeung Sau Sing." When asked he would return to work, Brother Wa said, "Film companies would understand my current status. For commercials they would take one or two days so they can be completed first. Otherwise I hope to resume exercising first and return to work when I would be at my best." He pointed out that his family already went on vacation so they did not accompany him to the event. Later he would join them on their trip. Brother Wa hoped to be able to spend more time with his family and admitted that earlier when he went to work in Guangzhou his wife was very worried. However he truly liked this film too much, as it would be able to spread the message of companionship and love. After this difficulty, he still would look ahead and leap over it. Of course he would have more security when working in the Mainland, he would not keep his distance from fans though. Contact and love are needed between people. Speaking of the difference in security between this time and his Guangzhou event, Brother Wa said, "This is Hong Kong, and media like you are here." In addition, Tang Siu Hau did not have a dog in real life but had five cats. She almost adopted one every year. They were all street cats, either sick or blind. For now she probably would not adopt any more. Yet if she ran into street dogs and cats near her home she would feed them. Siu Hau felt that the most important was to spay or neuter them to reduce the chance of animals being abandoned. Siu Hau praised the guide dogs in the film as very obedient. During the shoot she also gave them a lot of love. The opportunity was rare. [ BLAH OF THE WEEK ] Columns, Reviews, Interviews 1.

TA KUNG PAO, AUGUST 15 2019, LIGHT SHADOW PATH THE ROAD FOR NATIONAL ANIMATION REMAINS LONG Recently the most unexpected event in the Mainland film industry is the animated film NE ZHA, which becomes the summer's box office champion with 3,696,600,000 RMB. Last week it still firmly sat in first place. Over a decade ago, Mainland animation with support from all around began to thrive in development. Back then this writer visited a Guangzhou animation company that received venture capital support. Its computer technology showed some signs of success, but it only had appearance and lacked content. The several minute short 3D animation only displayed that its skills could barely reach its goals. At the time speculative investment was all the rage, this type of company that relied on venture capital and investment financing lacked precise operational concept. Finally the company closed and similar companies did not make it either. However, everyone thought that animation still had an enormous room for growth in the Mainland market. Does anyone still remember PLEASAN GOAT AND BIG BIG WOLF? This can be considered the Mainland animation that received the earliest Hong Kong media attention, mainly because its release company Creative Power Entertaining Co. Ltd. were founded by Hong Kong toy businessman So Wing Lok and Hong Kong screenwriter Lo Wing Keung. Creative Power worked with the Mainland animation company Alpha to create PLEASANT GOAT and made many hit movies; another hit animation film around the same period SEER came based on a web game; then another animation series that appeared was BOONIE BEAR, like PLEASANT SHEEP it went from television to the silver screen as the Mainland animated film fever officially began. The three aforementioned animated series targeted children as its audience. Their productions used computer technology but still featured flat surface animation. Other animation creators started to head to higher technology, while keeping the children audience in mind break out with more mature abilities and stories. Three years ago, the new animation director Tian Xiaopeng's MONKEY KING HERO IS BACK packaged the classic Chinese legend anew. Its visual effects and story both reached a certain level of quality as its box office reached 950 million RMB to become the year's highest grossing animated film. In recent years the best performing animated films at the Mainland box office was two years ago, when Disney's COCO made 1.15 billion RMB, DESPICABLE ME 3 made 1.03 billion RMB. This year has been even better, early this year WHITE SNAKE, BOONIE BEARS BLAST INTO THE PAST and the early summer SPIRITED AWAY were all rather popular. NE ZHA even broke the Mainland animated film box office record. The road of Mainland animation has already suffered many setbacks, under the continuing efforts of creators, filmmakers and investors finally they reap the reward. Yet for the comic book and animation industry to continue to develop it would not be easy. Both the U.S. and the Japanese comic book and animation industries have risen and fallen to be where they are today. Keep up the good work.

TA KUNG PAO, AUGUST 15 2019, THE WEEK IN FILM THE GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES -- THE GREATEST JAIL-BRAKER: HONG KONG COMIC ANIMATION NEW ATTEMPT Among important brands of Hong Kong publishing in recent years, Rightman's THE GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES is certain one of them. Its content is a secondary creation of the Sherlock Holmes world, with animals like dogs, cats, gorillas and foxes on the case instead of human. As the publication grows, it becomes a rare series of longevity. Filmmakers adapts this series into an animation for the silver screen as the logical next step. - HUNG KWONG THE GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES' writer Lai Ho is very closely related to the comic book, animation and film world. This time his novel is adapted into an animated film, which would certainly have its draw. This is another domestic creation animation adaptation since the MCDULL series. Different from the adult city fairy tale route of MCDALL, THE GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES is fully for children. It probably is the first domestic attempt since the 80s OLD MASTER Q (LO FU JI) animation. Focus on Common Scientific Spirit THE GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE GREATEST JAIL-BREAKER's story came from two episodes of the same title in the novel series. In them Sherlock Holmes is in pursuit of the Robin Hood like Mack. In the end at the birthday party for Mack's illegitimate daughter he captures him. Four years later Mack escapes from prison along with prison boss Scarface, who holds Mack's daughter hostage to ransom for the wealth that he has stolen over the years. Sherlock Holmes understands why Mack escapes from the prison. He not only quietly waits for him to turn himself in but also team up with Watson, investigators Gordon Riller and Carlson Fox to save Mack's daughter...... The background of the story is just like the original Sherlock Holmes cases, the end of the 19th century England, the society divided by wealth gap under the Industrial Revolution. Mack is known as Robin Hood because his targets are all exploitive and greedy capitalists. The wealth that he robs is spent on the poor. THE GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES -- THE GREATEST JAIL-BREAKER exceeds the average book for children perhaps because the writer puts a lot of effort into depiction the Industrial Revolution era England. The average laborer does not know whether they would have a job to go back to in the morning. On the other hand, it also does not resemble the traditional ROBIN HOOD story and lingers in the "steal from the rich to give to the poor" appearance. Instead it adds in class interactivity thinking. As a thief, Mack's "thefts" makes poor children think they are good deeds and instead their future is affected. Everyone turns to robbery as a profession and would never escape poverty. Thus, he instead has to discipline these children. Of course, Mack on the other hand sponsors the orphanage. Aside from the father and daughter relationship it is an even more practical way to help the poor. This type of attitude that urges people to do good with criticism of social problems adds more layers of thinking. In addition, in the film Sherlock Holmes stresses the spirit of scientific investigation, often through case investigations and clue gathering details introducing various common science knowledge. For example Mack's use of wet clothing to climb over the prison wall in the winter snow not only comes from the real life example of a prison escape king in Japan but also adds a lot of scientific detail introductions. Actually, characters in the GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES novel also coordinate with another series of reading -- CHILDREN SCIENCE magazine that promotes scientific knowledge through these characters. Visuals Simple, Smooth and Clean Perhaps, this SHERLOCK HOLMES series's greatest feature and most controversial place is its anthropomorphic characters. Protagonist Sherlock Holmes and Mack are dogs, Dr. Watson is a cat, not to mention foxes, rabbits, cows......in the past Japanese animators have created an all dog animation of Sherlock Holmes, but the story stresses even more the adventure spirit and different from Lai Ho's good and evil morality and common scientific knowledge's education direction. The artistic style was even cuter. One of this film's director directed the first MCDULL films, Toe Yuen Kin Toe. He showed maturity on the production level. The entire artistic style was the end of 19th century, Industrial Revolution era Europe. Although unlike some Japanese animations that had extremely realistic background, its visuals overall are simple and clean, its movement smooth and completely compatible to the story's style. Production wise, it is a top quality Hong Kong animation film. This point is also achieved within rather limited resources, which makes the feat even more priceless. The entire GREAT DETECTIVE SHERLOCK HOLMES novel series has a complete world view and enormous story structure, with great potential for a film series.
