MISCELLANEOUS * (2019/09/11) Conceivably many people would get loud with their families; Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Megan Lai would like to remind everyone with their new film, the closer people are the more you should care about them. In addition you have to be filial while you can. Cheng Sau Man and Taiwan star Megan Lai starred in the new film FAGARA (FA JIU JI MEI), which officially opens today. The film was about family. Sammi, Megan Lai and Li Xiaofeng played 3 sisters with conflicts with their parents. In particular Sammi in the film had a huge difference of opinion with and hatred toward her father. Through understanding, the severely fractured relationship was repaired. Sammi said, "This film is entertaining because it is flesh and blood. In real life many family relationships have a lot of love and hate, mutual misunderstanding; in misunderstanding there is also a lot of love and care, only that they don't know how to express them. They created friction and disagreement between generations and turned into hate. As long as there is love, no matter how bad the relationship is it can be fixed." The film theme PROPERLY TALK was Sammi performed. Sammi said, "The film brought out some very important messages: how to forgive, resolve, care and cherish. Particularly in the place and time we are in now, these are very important topics; in addition if you have something to say you have to have a 'proper talk', because in any relationship, that is very important. It is also one of the great wisdom in life." Sammi even reminded everyone to have proper talk with their families while they were still around, otherwise talking to a grave would already be meaningless. When asked if Sammi was able to have a proper talk now? She humorously said, "In comparison to when I was younger, I felt that I have greatly improved. Maybe 'the fire has gone out' now that I am older; maybe I really was very frustrated and explosive, but now I no longer know how to turn the fire on!" Sammi and Megan Lai both said that their relationship with their families have been great, different from their characters' super reserved personalities. Sammi stated that she was very direct at home. Since she was little she has been hugging her parents with fiery passion and would talk with them about anything. She saw her parents as her life coaches. "From Father I learn how to face difficulty. Even now when his health is less than great, he still would use positive thinking to consider life; Mother is already 80 but she still keeps on learning. She loves to play with her mobile phone, staying up to date without losing ouch. However Mother has no artistic gene at all, so I believe my artistic and determination genes came from Father." Megan also pointed out that she was very close with her parents, but also because she and her mother were too similar they would easily have friction. However they tended to have small disagreements and they all started with love. * (2019/09/11) Kara Wai Ying Hung, Carlos Chan Ka Lok and Tsao Yu-Ning worked together on the horror film BINDING SOULS (BONG LING). Ka Ling and Tsao Yu-Ning also said that they were in awe of "Ghost Queen" Sister Hung's presence. Sister Hung said that she was very pleased with the two "fresh meat"'s performance. In particular Ka Lok's acting was a pleasant surprise. Sister Hung praised Ka Lok for being smart and he finally got it in terms of his acting. In the past Sister Hung and Ka Lok have worked together many time. Ka Lok pointed out that one look from Sister Hung would keep him from looking at her again, because it was very easy for her presence to scare him from being able to speak at all. As for Ka Lok's onscreen performance, Sister Hung said that on the first day of work she already heard the director's praising him. Ka Lok's performance was much more mature than before. Yu-Ning pointed out that when he saw Sister Hung's eyes for the first time, he already sensed a very strong presence. However after awhile together he felt that she was very friendly. * (2019/09/11) Nora Miao (originally named Chan Wing Han)'s brother, classic comedy PLAIN JANE (LAM AH CHUN)'s writer and director Ricky Chan Ka Suen passed away from cancer in Canada on the 8th at age 73. Chan Ka Suen was the first Miss Hong Kong Elaine Sun Wing Yan's first husband. A veteran Hong Kong director, he formed a band in the 60s. Later he joined TVB as a screenwriter and director, mainly producing the variety program ENJOY YOURSELF TONIGHT. In mid 1990 he emigrated to Toronto, Canada and worked as a radio program host there. Two nights ago when the news spread, his Canadian Chinese radio Fairchild Radio Toronto's facebook account posted a black and white photo of Chan Ka Suen and announced the news of his death and a detailed account of his life. In Toronto, Dominic Lam Ka Wa has worked with Chan Ka Suen at the radio station for years. He said that Chan Ka Suen host a music program and over a month ago he took time off. He did not tell anyone that he was ill. Then he received the news from Nora Miao and everyone was shocked to hear about Chan Ka Suen's passing. * (2019/09/10) Louis Koo Tin Lok and Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen) after STEP INTO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI) 17 years ago have not had another opportunity to work together again. They recently finally reunited for the Derek Yee Tung Sing produced new film WITNESS OUT OF THE BLUE (FAN JUI YIN CHEUNG). Although the trailer was recently released, Suen Huen was nowhere to be found. The audience perhaps would have to wait for the next round of trailers for them to be together again. The trailer was around 1 minute long, but already included gun fights, explosions and car chases. A robbery was found dead in a industrial building but all of the loot has vanished. The police suspected uneven loot division and the biggest suspect was the leader of the robbers Goo Jai. The robbery scene was shot on location on Nathan Road. One of the robbers Deon Cheung Chung Chi told Goo Jai to turn himself in. Then Goo Jai opened fired toward Cheung Chung Chi. As a cop Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling ran on the streets in pursuit of a suspect. Mixed in with car chases the story became rather intense. * (2019/09/10) Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Megan Lai accepted a Hong Kong Open Television interview. In FAGARA (FA JIU JI MEI) they played two sisters. Actually it was not the first time that they worked together. Over 10 years ago Megan was the star of the music video for Sammi's Mandarin song FUTURE (MEI LOI). In recent years Sammi has taken many challenging film roles. When asked about how she felt about film awards, she said, "For so many years it has been a lesson in defeat! However I feel that the true nature is playing the role well and always enabling myself to improve. Instead I care even more about whether I have improved or not!" Was she confident about the Best Actress competition at the Hong Kong Film Award next year? She said that she was not. Earlier she made 4 movies, so far only 1 has been released. The other three's release dates remained unknown. She felt that over the year, her film journey has been more treacherous than her singing journey. However as long as the roles would be good, she would be willing to keep working hard. * (2019/09/09) Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Megan Lai and Bryant Mak Chi Lok two nights ago attended the film FAGARA (FA JIU JI MEI)'s charity premiere. At the premiere Sammi showed off her friend Ng Siu Fong's homemade chili pepper oil and praised Ng Siu Fong's cooking. After trying her completed product, she invited her to produce a limited amount for charity. She thought that this collaboration was very meaningful. Because she did not know how to cook well, she was better off jus singing a duet with her. She also said that FAGARA was just like Ng Siu Fong's experience, life did not just have to be spicy and conceivably a lot of it would be sweet. Sammi also said that she did not have much of a taste for spice, especially spicy hot pot. She was afraid of being flatulent after having too much of it, thus she would only have it occasionally. However her co-star Megan Lai loved spicy food. She said that the film was a tear jerker. Many viewers could not help but cry after watching, as the film tested the ability of holding back tears. Sammi said, "In the film the family after some friction forgives each other and lets go of the past. The scene with Megan and Mama was very touching. During the shoot and the voice work I couldn't help but cry. (Did your husband Andy Hui Chi On cry?) He hasn't seen it yet at the movies, but when we watch a touching movie together usually I would cry first. I am no crybaby though." * (2019/09/09) Famous director and gold label producer Chui Bo Chu has created countless classic films like NEW LEGEND OF SHAOLIN (FONG SAI YUK), FIST OF LEGEND (JING MO YING HUNG), BODYGUARD FROM BEIJING (CHUNG NAM HOI BO BIU), CROUCHING TIGERH HIDDEN DRAGON (NGOR FU CHONG LUNG), FEARLESS (FOK YUEN GAP), KUNG FU HUSTLE (GONG FU), CJ7 (CHEUNG GONG CHUT HO) and CONFUCIUS. Great with people in the business, she passed away from lung cancer yesterday morning at age 72. Chow Yun Fat said, "I really miss her, I would always remember her." Shu Qi and husband Stephen Fung Tak Lun both posted eulogies. Fung Tak Lun wrote, "To the highly respected Sister Bo Chu, thank you. Have a safe journey." Eva Huang Shengyi wrote, "I just heard the bad news, I remember my time on the Sister Bo Chu produced THE SORCERER AND THE WHITE SNAKE (BAK SEH CHUEN SUET), from KUNG FU HUSTLE to WHITE SNAKE I have been appreciative and grateful. Have a safe journey Sister Bo Chu." * (2019/09/08) The film FAGARA (FA JIU JI MEI) yesterday held an event. Actors Sammi Cheng Sau Man and Megan Lai attended. They played taste testing and moon cake making games with fans to celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival in advance. Sammi was deeply sentimental after making the film, pointing out that the film wanted to bring how deteriorated family relationships through forgiveness and repair could reach peaceful resolution. She felt, "As long as they are cherished, even worse relationships can be repaired." Cheng Sau Man said that although it was the first time she worked with Megan Lai and Li Xiaofeng, they were pleasant and positive so very quickly they became familiar. The three sisters in the film also became friends with their own phone group to stay in contact. Sammi mentioned the film's Mid Autumn fire dragon dance was also the climax and very tear inducing. Even guys would collapse after watching. Megan Lai admitted that she never imagined that she would be able to act with a diva, not to mention playing Sammi's sister. She remembered how nervous she was on the first day they met. Luckily Sammi cultivated the "sisterly" relationships. The most memorable was the hot pot cooking scene. Due to all the steam, Sammi's glassed fog up. This funny scene originally was not a part of the story, but in the end it was added into the film. Speaking of the film's Busan Film Festival invitation, Sammi stated that this genre was very suitable for festivals. However she was responsible for putting an effort into making a good movie. Any award would of course be bonus. Sammi pointed out that the film wanted to bring out how a deteriorated relationship between family through forgiveness and repair would reach a peaceful resolution. Another message was to say what you want to say to your family while they are still around. "I feel with love within, many so-called broken relationships could be repaired. Maybe they need time. As long as they are cherished even worse relationships could be repaired." Sammi said that due to her father being less than mobile, she might have to find a wider cinema to bring him to. Would her husband Andy Hui Chi On show his support? She said that he probably would. Would they watch it together on the Mid Autumn Festival? She said, "I don't know, I will go with friends. I will take (Dicky) Cheung Wai Kin's wife." As for Megan Lai she did not dare to bring her parents because she was afraid that the movie would be too touching. Thus she already booked tickets for her parents to watch the film. She said that Mama happened to have three sisters. She believed that she and her two aunts would have an even deeper experience when they would watch together. Speaking of the Mid Autumn Festival, Sammi said that she would celebrate the holiday with her family. Earlier she learned that Megan Lai would come to Hong Kong, wanted to play host and take her to dinner. Yet due to the tight promotional schedule and she had to rush back for work they could not have dinner together. Sammi also said that actually she owed Andy Lau Tak Wa a meal as well, as she wanted to thank Wa Jai for guest starring in a role. * (2019/09/06) Carlos Chan Ka Lok and Angie Shum Yat Ka two nights ago attended their new film BINDING SOUL (BONG LING)'s premiere in Causeway Bay. Chan Ka Lok said that when he watched horror films in the past he would have "biological reaction" like throwing up and his friends would mind. However lately he has made more horror films, after getting to know the production process he would no longer get sick. He said, "In the last film I had to dissect a corpse, all the guts that everyone saw came from pork and beef tripe. After that I wasn't scared anymore. Instead the team in order to save money would use the prop guts for several days, they started to rot and smell. When I took my mark I had to hold my breath." Chan Ka Lok said that after making supernatural movies he was very curious about spirits. He wanted to make contact but was afraid to. "During experience helps an actor with his acting. I hope to have a chance to. Cute happy ghost would be the best." Shum Yat Ka revealed she lost over 20 pounds since the shoot. Although her figure shrank she felt much more comfortable. "I was so fat that people would think I was pregnant, so I worked hard on losing weight. I don't need to have a great figure, now I am very light." * (2019/09/06) Veteran actress Lily Leung Shun Yin (Originally named Leung Suk Ching) passed away at age 90 at the hospital last month. Sister Lily was a devout Catholic. Services began yesterday at the Universal Funeral Parlor with the funeral taking place tomorrow. Sister Lily's remains will be cremated at the Cape Collinson crematorium and her ashes will be buried with her late husband's. Yesterday around 3PM, Sister Lily's grandson Yuen Ho Chung and her family arrived at the venue. The hall was decorated simply and cleanly in beige and white, with a banner that said "soul returns to Heaven". The photo was in color with Sister Lily with her glasses. In front of the altar were seven floral arrangements from her closest family. In the center were her children's heart shaped floral arrangements. Floral arrangements from godson Hacken Lee Hak Kun's family and goddaughter Wong Yee Lin's family flanked the left and right sides. Sister Lily's grandsons, Yuen Ho Fung and Yuen Ho Chung spoke to the media around 5:15 PM. Ho Chung first thanked the media for coming. "Grandma's life was exciting as she received floral arrangements from many friends. I represent my family in thanking everyone for their concern." He pointed out that because Grandma was very vain, they asked TVB for Grandma's color still photo from her series OF GREED AND ANTS for the funeral. As for Grandma's final wish, he said that Grandma had no regret. Only when she was in bed rest, she still hoped to be able to keep making series. Unfortunately she was unable to. Other than that she had no regret. All of her family and overseas friends came to bid her farewell. Grandma's ashes will be in Hong Kong and buried with Grandpa's. Ho Fung revealed that Grandma was called Sister Lily because she liked the flower. Thus she asked for the hall to be decorated with lilies and other flowers. However she did not ask for family and friends to send lily floral arrangements. Godson Lee Hak Kun and his wife Emily Lo Suk Yi arrived around 5PM. They were dressed in black and looked solemn, but they still stopped for media photos. Then they put their hands together and entered the hall. After bowing they consoled Sister Lily's family, then stayed for a hour and a half and left. When reporters asked for an interview, the heartbroken Hacken again put his hands together and declined to speak. He then left with his wife in a vehicle. Wu Fung came to send his friend on her final journey. He got teary eyed when he stared at his late friend's photo. He praised Sister Lily for being great with people and could be called women's role model. Everyone respected her very much. He believed that each friend felt very saddened by her passing. Brother Sau said that he was very upset and even felt guilty about Sister Lily. He said, "When we worked together on movies early on, Lily heard that I was humming ONE DAY WHEN WE WERE YOUNG and sang it with me. We felt that we were very compatible, she even wished for us to see this song together on television. At the time I said fine but in the end we weren't able to fulfill that wish. I feel very guilty about that. Luckily when Sister Lily was pregnant we were able to sing together, may she rest in peace in Heaven." At this time Brother Sau stared at Sister Lily's photo and got teary eyed. He said that he and Sister Lily often had dinner together. After work he would give her a ride home, but she would always be thank you this and thank you that. She was very polite and was a great person. Other mourners included Liza Wang Ming Chuen, Lau Siu Kwan, Louise Lee Si Ke, Yu Mo Lin, Wen Lau Mei, Lily Ng Lai Chu, Bob Cheung Yin Pok, Zoie Tam Hoi Kei, Yu Miu, Tsang Lai Chun, Cheung Kwok Keung, Chow Chung, Shaun Tam Chun Yin, Nina Paw Hee Ching, Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen), Emily Kwan Bo Wai, Nancy Wu Ting Yan, Elaine Yiu Tse Ling, Jonathan Wong Chee Hynn, Money Lo Man Yi and her husband Suen King On, Justina Shih Yau Shan, Tam Sin Hung and Elaine Lok Yi Ling. Sister Lily worked with many in the industry in her lifetime and was great with people. Many insiders sent floral arrangements that filled the hall and outside the doors. Chow Yun Fat and his wife, Andy Lau Tak Wa, Wang Ming Chuen, Law Kar Ying, Nancy Sit Ka Yin and her older daughter Shih Yau Shan, Wayne Lai Yiu Cheung and his wife, Wu Fung, Lau Siu Kwan, Gallen Lo (Law Ka Leung) and his wife, Ha Yu, Lee Si Kei, Alice Chan Wai, Gordon Lam Ka Tung, Wu Ting Yan, Myolie Wu Hung Yi and Yiu Tse Ling's "sisterhood", Melvin Wong Kam Sun's family, Sylvia Lai (Sum Sum), Betty Lai (Ban Ban), RTV second artist training class all sent floral arrangements. * (2019/09/05) The Ann Hui On Wa produced, Heiward Mak Hei Yan directed, Sammi Cheng Sau Man, Richie Jen (Yam Yin Chai), Megan Lai, and Li Xiaofeng starred FAGARA (FA JU JIU MEI) will open on September 12th. Siu Chai and Sammi would worked together again, which both felt was happy and interesting. Sammi said, "During hte shoot, Siu Chai was gaining weight for another film. He put this all new look into this film and was very earnest. He had an all new feeling, which made each time I saw him very refreshing. He was very suitable for his character, which understood my father more than I did. He even taught me a lot about my father that I didn't know." In addition, FAGARA will participate in the 24th Busan International Film Festival. * (2019/09/05) Philip Ng Won Lung and Aka Chio (Chiu Wai Shan) starred in the film UNDERCOVER PUNCH AND GUN (CHUM HUNG JEH), which two nights ago held a premiere. Many industry insiders showed heir support, including Grace Wong Kwan Hing, Kelly Cheung Hei Man, Rosanne Wong Yuen Kwan and her husband. Philip and brothers On Chi Kit and Vanness Wu (Ng Kin Ho) worked together again after sixteen years, would they work together on a romantic film next time? Philip said, "Next time I would star in a romantic kung fu comedy with them and ask Aka to come back as well. Let's see who would play her onscreen boyfriend." Aka complained that she did not get a kiss on her forehead from Philip until the end. Philip joked, "Next time I would kiss your nose." Would he like his goddaughter, On Chi Kit's daughter Tessa to guest star? Philip said that of course he would, but he would have to ask the parents for permission. "I feel that my goddaughter has a knack for performing. I have seen her school performance. Maybe I am biased, I feel that she dances the best and the most focused." An action director as well, Philip was asked about the box office. He admitted that he never thought about it. He would only do his best. First time in an action film, Aka said that what she learned this time was more important than the box office. Earlier after studying kung fu with Philip, she longed to be an action actress. Philip pointed out that earlier she has seen Aka's music video and praised her dancing for having quite a sense of rhythm. With more training she would absolutely have no problem with becoming a martial art star. Would he like her to become the next Michelle Yeoh (Yeung Chi King)? He said, "She has her own Aka Style." Aka also took the chance to ask Philip if he could keep teaching her kung fu for free. Philip told her not to revealed that he taught her kung fu for free earlier. Supporting her friend Ng Won Lung, Grace Wong Kwan Hing said that she really wanted to make kung fu film. In particular in a film with Philip because they have worked together on two series A FIST WITHIN FOUR WALLS and CHINATOWN. He was a good teacher and she had both confidence and trust in him. However Grace said that she did not want any romantic scene with him because they were too friendly. Romantic scenes would be harder to get into. As for work, Grace revealed that next month she would work on a new series. Before then she would go on vacation with her husband. For now they had no parenthood plans.

TA KUNG PAO, SEPTEMBER 5 2019, LIGHT SHADOW PATH PAY PLATFORM MAY NOT BREAK THROUGH THE THEATER DEFENSE Traditional television and theater operation grow more difficult by the day, the reason is that technology advances have changed viewing habits. The biggest impact comes from pay platforms like Netflix and HBO. Aside from first run films, these platforms seem to have countless choices. Its catalog of television series in particular cannot be possibly viewed in its entirety. These platforms' operation format is far from that of traditional television, which is something that not everyone can understand. A friend feels that for 100 something dollars a month he can see many film and television products, and at anytime he wants. He can even share with others. In the traditional format he would have to spend at least several thousand or more. How is such an operation possible? For these platform's business calculation, the most important is client growth rate. In other words, the business future lies in more and more subscribers, so the monthly fee must be more and more attractive. With traditional thinking, for example a subscriber pays HK$ 2,000 a month. Maybe only 10 to 20% of the target audience would become clients. However if the cost is 100 something dollars a month, the target audience would definitely be above 80%. Then non target audience (the general consumer) would also sense the value and become subscribers. The above is only simple reasoning. Due to different classes for subscribers, the revenue format would also adjust somewhat. As a platform subscriber the friend found out about this type of operation format suddenly has an idea. He says that in the future these platforms can directly release first run features. The audience would no longer need to go to the movies to see the premiere. Of course they would be willing to pay more. This subscriber makes the mistakes that outsiders often make, thinking that industry insiders have never thought of this type of "innovative" ways. Actually they have much more difficulties within. The American industry standard is, a movie would have to be in the theaters for 90 days before the video on demand format (including streaming platform) would be able to release the film. The reason is very simple. Because if the film can be seen too soon on the platform, the theatrical revenue cannot possibly be too high. It is a problem of profit. Last week Netflix released the Martin Scorsese directed, Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino starred THE IRISHMAN, which led to the end of negotiation with AMC and Cineplex and the film was only able to be released in several independent cinemas. Because Netflix cannot permit the 90 day release for streaming, which would affect platform revenue (many would have seen it at the movies) they only offered 30 days. Big movies without big theater circuits certainly would not have high box office revenue. Even more importantly they may not have the understanding of Oscar voters and theater circuits (non traditional distribution format), so their chance for an award would decrease. Reportedly, last year Netflix's ROMAN was unable to win Best Picture due to that reason. Thus, platform premiere would not only abandon theater revenue but also affect the film's industry recognition. In the short term that will not change. - TIN LIK [ In Production Now/Soon ] SINGER AND STRANGER Can : Yum Sing Dik Nei Lit : Rebellious You d.
