MISCELLANEOUS * (2019/10/29) The Aaron Kwok Fu Sing and Miriam Yeung Chin Wa starred new film I'M LIVIN' IT (MAK LO YUN) was selected for the Tokyo Film Festival this year. Last night director Wong Hing Fan led Kwok Fu Sing and Yeung Chin Wa to attend the opening ceremony. At the opening ceremony Sing Sing and Chin Wa showed off their English while speaking with many foreign media outlets. Most Japanese media were rather interested in the film's subject. Kwok Fu Sing even talked about the film. Some asked if Sing Sing and Chin Wa would miss their children, Chin Wa said, "Of course I would, because earlier I have been working away from home and constantly not in Hong Kong." In addition, her other mission was to go shopping, taking the chance to recharge and relax a little. Sing Sing said, "I would miss my children everyday, while at work I want to focus on work. After work I would really miss my family." Sing Sing and Chin Wa were rather supportive of the director since the film would be in competition. Tomorrow's premiere has already been sold out, as everyone looked forward to watching the film in its entirety for the first time on the big screen. The film SECRET DIARY OF A MOM-TO-BE (BABY FOOK SAU GEI) also took to the red carpet to attend the film festival opening ceremony. Producer Liu Yuen Hung, director Luk Yee Sum, stars DaDa Chan Jing and Kevin Chu Kam Yin. Recently busy with work in the Mainland, Kevin flew from Shanghai at 5AM yesterday to Tokyo in order to promote the film. Kevin said, "Actually I am not too tired. This morning I slept very well, and I really look forward to the red carpet later and the world premiere in four days." DaDa revealed, "Kevin has many female Japanese fans asking him for pictures!" DaDa admitted that in order to be at her best for the opening ceremony red carpet, she has been on a lighter diet. "After the red carpet, tonight I can liberate my belly! This morning when I left in the evening gown, foreigners thought I was getting married! Haha." Although the onscreen couple could not be more perfectly matched on the red carpet, they actually have not seen each other in a long time. Kevin said, "We haven't seen each other in three months, as soon as we did we seem like strangers! Actually I came to Japan earlier and even bought a gift for DaDa, but I never would have guessed that now that she is in Japan and I still haven't been able to give it to her yet." Zhang Zyi will be the competition jury chair. She greeted everyone in Japanese on red carpet then expressed in English that she was very happy to be able to attend and wish that everyone would have a pleasant evening. Later Zhang Ziyi announced that she was pregnant for the second time online. "I am here to share my joy with everyone! Today I am the 32nd Tokyo International Film Festival jury chair. In the next 8 days I will vote with 4 other partners for 7 major awards among 14 films. Today my special identity is a professional mother to be for 30 weeks. I am incredibly proud of these two identities! I thank everyone for your care and support for me all along!" * (2019/10/28) The Nick Cheung Ka Fai starred crime suspense GUILT BY DESIGN (CHUI MIN CHUI KUET) was written and directed by three new directors Kenneth Lai Siu Kwan, Paul Sze Pak Lam and Lau Wing Tai. Earlier the quartet promoted the film, which began with a murder case. in it Cheung Ka Fai, Kent Cheng Suk Si, Elaine Jin (Kam Yin Ling), Jo Kuk Cho Lam, Babyjohn Choi Hong Yik, Cecilia So Lai Shan and others formed the jury. Ka Fai was threatened and had to change the verdict with hypnosis to save his daughter. Ka Fai admitted that among the actors he had the best chemistry with Cheng Juk Si, who he felt was able to perform his limited role with each shot to its utmost. He felt that only veteran actors would be able to do that. Having played a variety of roles, Ka Fai played a character that was different from before. In the film he played a psychologist and a hypnosis expert. Director Lai Siu Kwan said that after the script was done, Ka Fai was his first choice for actors because lately Ka Fai has played more action roles and had less quieter characters. This time Ka Fai's role was more dramatic and able to bring freshness to the audience. Sze Pak Lam said that the idea for the script started in 2015, as he wanted to talk about any loophole in the Hong Kong jury system. Wha would happen if a jury is threatened. They started thinking toward this direction but did not want to write too many court scenes. They had to come up with ideas to make the threat interesting. Thus they thought of using a hypnotist to influence other's decisions. Ka Fai said that before the shoot he did not study hypnosis but two hypnosis experts were on the set. Has he been hypnotized? Ka Fai admitted, "I don't dare to be, as I am afraid that I would recite all of my bank accounts. I am also afraid of anything that might be hidden in my subconscious. If someone opens the lock, I wouldn't know what to do if I do something crazy after waking up." Speaking of the most memorable scene, Ka Fai pointed out that he worked with many actors for the first time in the film. He and Cecilia So Lai Shan had a scene in which he hypnotized her. Afterward he felt that he really hypnotized her and she thought she was hypnotized. They both were in character. He felt that she was very passionate and tried her best in her performance. As for the best chemistry, Ka Fai picked Kent Cheng Juk Si first. "In each shot he would use his limited role to make the most out of his performance. Only veteran actors would be able to do that. The exchange with him felt great, I was very happy to have this type of exchanges. Everyone would perform their roles to their utmost. Kam Yin Ling is a very stubborn actress, her performance is very detailed." Ka Fai admitted that the collaboration with the cast was pleasant, especially when everyone had to shoot in the jury room for a dozen or so days. If they were not serious and united, those days would have been hard. Fortunately no matter what age they were they all gave all they could and the collaboration was very harmonious. Would the three directors strengthen their communication since they were shooting together? Ka Fai said that their job division was absolutely clear. They were the "dragon heads" on the set and would arrange everything before arriving at the set. Otherwise no one would have any idea where to go on the set. Did he give any "special treatment" in terms of salary? Ka Fai said, "I support local directors, money of course isn't a problem. We can work together in a variety of ways, money doesn't come first when trying to work out a collaboration." In addition, the GUILT BY DESIGN script won awards at the 2016 Asian Film Financing Forum, the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Film NAFF 2016's MONEFF Award, Wave Lab Award and the Color Award. * (2019/10/28) Eddie Cheung Siu Fai, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Vincent Wong Ho Shun and three directors Kenneth Lai Siu Kwan, Paul Sze Pak Lam and Lau Wing Tai earlier attended their film GUILT BY DESIGN (CHUI MIN CHOI KUET)'s audience appreciation event and meeting in Guangzhou. Many fans screamed, "I want to be hypnotized" and heated up the event. This time Brother Fai played a veteran cop. Brother Fai said, "Actually this Tang Sir is very smart, very willing to accept challenges. Because Ka Fai in the film is a hypnotist, Ka Fai thinks that he can control me. So......you have to go to the movies and see! (Which is the most memorable scene?) In one scene I sat in a vehicle and acted with myself. That scene had its difficulties, as I had to perform the confused state after being hypnotized......" That night the film company originally arranged for just one audience appreciation show after the meeting. Many of Brother Fai's fans traveled a long way but was unable to get tickets for the show. They asked their idol for help. Brother Fai in order to keep the fans from being disappointed announced an additional audience appreciation show. Brother Fai said, "Since the fans came from so far away to support me, I of course don't want to disappoint them. I don't mind adding another audience appreciation event. The promoters also were very grateful because they originally wanted to add another show but were afraid that the actors' scheduled would pretend it. They didn't dare to say anything." The addition audience appreciation show was rapidly sold out. Some fans even brought a big box of coffee to thank Brother Fai. * (2019/10/26) Kenny Kwan Chi Bun, Michael Ning (Bak Ji), Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling's film SINGER AND STRANGER (YUM SING DIK NEI) since starting production in August has already completed 1/3 of its shoot. In the film Kenny played a band lead singer. In order to play the role well he practiced playing the guitar like mad. In the film he and Cherry had many emotional scenes. Also in the film were Bak Ji, Anthony Chan Yau and Candy Yu On On. Originally the film was heating up in production, earlier due to financing issues the film suddenly halted production and disrupted the actors' schedules. For now the production had no date to resume as everyone's effort could be wasted at any moment! Kenny's manager confirmed Mani Fok Man Hei admitted that the film ran into trouble and had to postpone its production. She said, "Right now I don't know when it will resume production. We have seen the footage so far, both Kenny and Bak Ji performed very well. If the film is scrapped it would be very regretful!" In September, Boy'z originally would reunite to perform a concert series. In the end Steven Cheung Chi Hung ran into a romantic scandal and the shows were cancelled. Kenny was so disappointed that he cried. Luckily his management company was able to turn the series into solo shows. Now that Kenny's movie also ran into trouble, would Emperor again lend a helping hand? Mani said, "If the price is reasonable, we would consider it." Kenny's career in the Mainland in recent years have been so successful that he has purchased properties in Hong Kong and Canada. Yet lately his work in Hong Kong has made him "the god of the cursed". Would working in the Mainland be more advantageous to him? Kenny said, "Actually after coming back, many advertisers and film companies have approached me. Although my concert ran into a little trouble, the performance was very successful. Many people liked the show. I am very grateful to be able to develop my career in a place I like." Kenny's onscreen mother Candy Yu On ON yesterday said that she has been helping with the film's search for a "white knight". She said, "Basically I am already done, with just one day of shoot left. I already got all my salary so I am unaffected. On the other hand many actors' scenes haven't been shot yet. My son (Kenny) this time performed very well and put a lot of effort into it. The story is very inspirational, very interesting, so I want to help and ask my friends if they would be interested in investing! The mother I play in the film is not the usual mother. The ones who play my children are all very good looking, I have another handsome son!" * (2019/10/26) The "Kung fu queen" Sharon Yang (Yeung Pan Pan) founded National Art Brilliant Film Actor Stunt Training Base earlier officially opened at the Xiqiao Mountain National Art Film and Television City. The Hong Kong Stuntman Association, Pan Pan's elders and junior colleagues, Friends of Shaw, Hong Kong TVB, CTV, ATV era television on and off screams artist friends, Chin Siu Ho, Chin Kar Lok, Michelle Yim (Mai Suet), Man Suet Yi, Susan Shaw Yam Yam, Poon Chi Man, Cheung Lui showed their support. Friends Mai Suet and Man Suet Yi led almost 100 people to the Foshan Xiqiao Mountain National Art Film and Television Base to cheer on Pan Pan. Pan Pan's heart and determination were very touching. Everyone went to support him in hopes that she would train talent for film and television, Pan Pan was very moved! She said that aside from teaching kung fu action actor technique but also life to the students. Yeung Pan Pan started studying martial art since age 4. She often performed high difficult stunts all over. At age 9 she started as a child film star, able to perform Beijing Opera, classical dance, calligraphy. She still passionately loves kung fu now, having had help from many elders and masters. When she heard that the industry would soon have no successor, she did not want any talent gap as she hoped to be able to keep it going. Also because National Art boss Checkley Sin Kwok Lam said to her, "Why don't you come up to the Xiqiao Mountain National Art Film and Television City and work together on film and television stunt actor training, many collaboration format would be fine. You would have free rein." Thus she came to the National Art Film and Television City to develop her action actor training career. After arriving in Xiqiao Mountain, she realized that Xiqiao people were simple and the location huge. Boss Sin Kwok Lam was very willing to invest in talent. The feeling was great so she stayed for seven years. Over the years she had to start with software to build the training base, form the teaching facility, construct multipurpose training rooms. Because training an action actors would require many years, only after several years of training would more mature people appear. Children of the past also gradually grew and needed to start working in the world. She hoped through the base's official founding to introduce them to industry insiders because young people would need people to give them opportunities. Several years ago she already produced some movies with her students and television station artists, but because the reality of the market they were unable to be distributed due to the lack of famous names. Yet now broadcasting online would have 100 million hits, thus timing and opportunity were very important. Yeung Pan Pan understood opportunity was very important to any chance to rise. The market is more supply than demand. She saw that her students gradually grew up and needed to make a living outside. She would try to help qualified students to find opportunities, investor and different format to perform, film, television, advertising, so they would have an easy path. Thus more or less she would have pressure as well. Has she asked the Hong Kong Directors' Guild and Stuntman Association to collaborate? She stated that people all along has been asking her for recommendations. However rising in show business was about luck. She would pray for them. As for enrollment conditions and tuition, she said that basically it would differ between people. Students could have no kung fu background at all and start from the beginning, which would take longer. Some would also come to continue their studies, teaching and training people would not make a profit. If they would be able to handle daily expenses they would already be okay. The most important for enrollment to her was the interest to learn, anyone who would come to mess around would not be accepted as she did not want to waste resource and energy. Yeung Pan Pain pointed out that young people now are not the same as people of their era, remembering those who helped them for a millennium. They lacked gratitude the most. Thus she would not only teach her students about kung fu action actor techniques but also life. Fortunately most of her current students have good character, obedient and willing to work hard. She would not easily give up of disobedient students. She would use an open method education and give them space to be free. She said, "Ultimately the teens are a rebellious age. I would communicate more with them and wouldn't force them to have the same idea as me. I would only tell them through my experience so they wouldn't repeat my mistake, help them grow and in the process I would grow with them." Brothers Chin Siu Ho and Chin Kar Lok also took time to support Sister Pan Pan in Xiqiao Mountain. Chin Kar Lok is the Hong Kong Stuntman Association chair so he has to lead the team to show their support. Chin Kar Lok started to handle matters with a solid stage presence, able to command and lead. He said that he used to make movies, eat, drink, play and sleep, he never thought about doing anything big and had no confidence in important duties. Since Tsang Chi Wai and Teddy Chan Tak Sum asked him to help with the association, after numerous "pressure tests" he realized that he actually was able to carry important tasks and his connection with people was not too bad. He was able to bring together people of all ages. He was also able to successfully fight for stunt actors to legally buy insurances. He felt like he actually was able to do important jobs. After 5 years at the job he also grew. Chin Kar Lok is also the Performing Artist Guild vice chair. Speaking of Koo Tin Lok being just as outstanding after accepting the chair of the Guild, Chin Kar Lok said, "The Hong Kong Performing Art world is very lucky, in each era it would have outstanding artists to support it, from in the past Ng Chor Fan, Pak Yin, Cheung Yin, (Patrick) Tse Yin, (Connie) Chan Bo Chu, to Jackie Chan, (Sammo) Hung Kam Bo, (Eric) Tsang Chi Wai, (Leslie) Cheung Kwok Wing, (Alan) Tam Wing Lun, (Jacky) Cheung Hok Yau, (Anita) Mui Yim Fong, to the appearance of Koo Tin Lok. He truly is a new film tycoon, as he has invested in many movies. At the set, you can see a variety of equipment that all belongs to Mr. Koo's company. He is capable and has heart, both are very rare. Hong Kong film history remains after experiencing the effort of many previous generations of elders. Our generation hopes to inherit that and pass it on." Chin Siu Ho appeared to be a very happy, not only to support Sister Pan Pan but also to see many old friends. Lately his wife went with their son to study in England while he remained in Hong Kong for work. He described this time as a full harvest year for him, having made a television series, a Taiwan documentary and soon an inspirational film that would be based on Hong Kong para-athlete So Wa Wai's story with Sandra Ng Kwan Yu. Siu Ho and Kwan Yu would play a couple, and they have not worked together in a very long time. He looked happier and happier. He said, "At this age I have seen a lot of things, I have learned to let go. Half of life is already gone, why not treat myself better and properly enjoy the remaining days. In addition when I have more positive energy in life, my connection with people is better and so is my luck. Treating people well would be rewards. Earlier I supported a new director for free and the film won an award overseas. I got Best Actor, which truly was a surprise." * (2019/10/25) Kenny Kwan Chi Bun last night spoke of his film THE FALLEN (DOR LOK FA)'s Hong Kong Asian Film Festival selection. He pointed out that he had a huge breakthrough this time, with many sex scenes. "During the shoot they didn't feel daring, but later when I watched them again I realized that actually they were rather breakthrough concepts!" He revealed that in one day he made three sex scene with Irene Wan Bik Ha and Ashina Kwok Yik Sum. He said, "That day I didn't have time to put my clothes back on. I ran across the set naked, I was so tired and sweaty!" * (2019/10/25) The Emperor Motion Picture OPERATION RED SEA received the Best Film nomination for the 28th Golden Rooster Hundred Flower Film Festival and the 32nd Golden Rooster Awards. The film's director Dante Lam Chiu Yin was the only Hong Kong director to be nominated for Best Director. Actress Jiang Luxia was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Lam Chiu Yin stated that he was rather excited. OPERATION RED SEA last year swept 5 awards including Best Feature Film and Best Director at the 34th Hundred Flower Award. This time it again was highly recognized at the Golden Rooster Award. Lam Chiu Yin happily said, "Viewers voted for Hundred Flower Award, I was already very happy with the awards last time. Golden Rooster is professional jury selected, for a second year in a row I am able to participate with OPERATION RED SEA. Naturally I am extra excited! I hear that this year the award will take place in Xiamen. I once worked in Xiamen for my new film THE RESCUE (GUNG GUP GAU WOON), which adds another layer of connection!" Lam Chiu Yin also revealed that the biggest pressure came from THE RESCUE's post production, which was an unprecedented investment with stunts and special effects beyond any imagination. He stated that THE RESCUE would be 5 or 6 times more surprising than RED, thus he kept asking the bosses to add to the budget. Yet the Spring Festival golden period's competition will be fierce, no one could relax at all. In addition with the subject of THE RESCUE, once he decided to make it he had to do so with the strongest conviction in order to elevate Chinese film to the next level. * (2019/10/25) The Chrissie Chau Sau Na and Louis Cheung Kai Chung starred film HOTEL SOUL GOOD (NUI WONG JONG DOH JING) was nominated for the 2nd National Film and Television Awards' Best Foreign Film Award in the U.S. It was the only Asian film to receive the nomination as it would compete with 11 films from around the world. The award ceremony will take place in December in Los Angeles. Sister Na in recent years had many films to be selected for foreign film festival. She felt fortunate that the film was able to break through geographical and language barriers to spread the message to viewers around the world. Sister Na also recalled how limited time and resource were on the production. Luckily the team was full of enthusiasm and passion, which made her felt the power of youth. It was absolutely a beautiful memory. * (2019/10/24) The film A WITNESS OUT OF THE BLUE (FAN JUI YIN CHEUNG) two nights ago held a premiere at Kowloon Bay. Actors Louis Koo Tin Lok, Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen), Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Philip Keung Ho Man, Fiona Sit Hoi Kei and Cherry Ngan Cheuk Ling attended. Since both Koo Tin Lok and Keung Ho Man's birthdays were on October, the crew presented a birthday cake to celebrate with them. That night, a woman claiming to be Goo Jai's wife was also present. Many industry insiders showed their support, among them was the a recent signee to Goo Jai's company Raymond Wong Ho Yin, as well as Mimi Kung Chi Yan, Chan Kin On, Jennifer Yu Heung Yi and Danny Chan Bing Chuen. During the premiere, a woman who spoke Putonghua kept waving to Goo Jai outside the venue. She called him hubby and claimed to be Goo Jai's wife, then she kept shaking the barricade. When security approached, the woman suddenly screamed. After a few yells when she said a wave of reporters rushing up to take photos, she smiled again and raised a victory sign. Her behavior was odd. Goo Jai was unaffected on the stage as he continued with the ceremony. Just turned 49 on the 21st, Goo Jai revealed that he wished for good health on his birthday because only with health would he be able to do anything else. This year he had dinner with friends on his birthday. On the actual day he celebrated with his family. In past years Goo Ja would celebrate with fans but this year he cancelled it because he was worried about traffic issues. Good friend Suen Huen revealed that she gave a birthday present to Goo Jai, but she did not reveal what it was. She said that it was rather suitable for Goo Jai. She said that she would put down her friends' birthdays on her notebook. Each time when she saw the reminder she would text her friends to congratulate them. Her friends would be very happy. Did Goo Jai like Suen Huen's gift? He said that he really did and said that he would remember her birthday. However Suen Huen said, "He was one day late! He should remember it for the rest of his life." As for box office performance, Goo Jai admitted that he had expectations. As an actor he gave his all to the performance, but the box office was beyond his control. Of course he hoped that everyone would enjoy it. Suen Huen admitted that she felt the box office pressure, ultimately she could not just leave it after she was done. She still had to answer for some things. When asked whether he and Suen would have further collaborations after BACK TO THE PAST (CHUM CHUN GEI), Goo Jai said, "We would, (what kind of characters would you play?) Suen Huen wants to play a villain, but for now we don't have anything planned." Suen Huen revealed that she has seen an American television series about a doctor with autism. She would like to give that a try since she would have the chance. This Saturday (the 26th) would Keung Ho Man's 53rd birthday. He said that every October he would be busy with celebrations because his wife's birthday and their wedding anniversary were also close. Thus he would continue to celebrate. After 20 years of marriage, what would he give his wife for her birthday and their anniversary? He said that he asked his wife to get what she liked. In the end she bought jewelry, since his money all went to her anyway. He said, "This year we would have dinner with our family to celebrate. Originally every year my wife and I would go on vacation, but this year I will have to work. However I am very happy that I get to cut cakes at work." Cheung Kai Chung revealed that in the film he often had to open fire, which made him very nervous and slept wrong on his neck. He also praised many elders like Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Koo Tin Lok and Sean Lau Ching Wan for looking cool with a gun. He in comparison still had a long way to go. He joked that later if he would have another chance to make a crime film he would learn to hold a gun first. Did his wife comfort him over his stiff neck? He joked that each time he had an arm injury he would exaggerate it ten times in hopes for more compassion. His son would also ask about the shoot. He also said, "When my son gets older, I want to take him to the set so he can understand how tough Papa's job is. He can also learn about the different jobs and admire each profession."
