The Hong Kong International Film Festival Association director Albert Lee said, "Ng Kwan Yu has always dared to challenge different character, from an inclusive prostitute, mob leader to kind mother her delicate acting puts ordinary characters' extraordinary levels on display. Her transformation in her show business career witnessed the rise and fall of Hong Kong mainstream films. With her woman's instinct and personal determination she created a new horizon and became one of the most influential female stars in the Chinese region. We are very honored to be able to invite her to become the 46th Hong Kong International Filmmaker in Focus." Kwan Yu shared the news on social media and screamed with excitement. "As a comedy star, a comedy actor I received this honor of the filmmaker in focus, which makes me the most emotional!" She also posted on her story that "this year's Hong Kong International Film Festival Filmmaker in Focus is truly too beautiful." Kwan Yu would attend a Hong Kong celebrity forum, share stories and experience from her show business life. * (2022/04/27) TABLE FOR SIX (FAN HEI GUNG SUM) would compete for the 24th Udine Far Festival Film Festival's Mulberry Award for Best Screenplay. Stephy Tang as the lead actress represented the film and attended the film festival. The film held a premiere there and the response was enthusiastic, whether foreign viewers would appreciate the comedy in TABLE FOR SIX was everyone's focus. Stephy said, "Before the screening I was concerned about this problem. I thought whether Italian would laugh at our expressions in our comedy. During the viewing I paid attention to the subtitles, the translations and everyone's response. All of the reactions were better than I imagined. Everyone didn't just laugh but laughed happily. For some spots the entire audience rocked the place with laughter. This reaction moved me very much. I was very happy. I felt that comedy truly had no border." Stephy said that after the show, she stood up to accept everyone's applause. Then she clapped along with the end credit song and the entire audience clapped along with her. She was very touched. * (2022/04/26) BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS (SUP YUET WAI SING)'S Hong Kong Film Awards winning director Teddy Chan Tak Sum yesterday held a new book release event. Good friends Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui, Cheung Kwok Ming and Teddy Robin Kwan came to congratulate him. Today is Chan Tak Sum's 64th birthday. He admitted that this book was a birthday gift for himself. He was the happiest that all proceeds from this new book would be donated to charity. Chan Tak Sum revealed that in his 30s he already wanted to write a book to chronicle his film industry experience. "When I made action films, a lot happened. Some even made the sacrifice, like when I made BODYGUARDS AND ASSASSINS I ran into many obstacles. So I wanted to turn my determination in this industry, some unhappy setbacks into positive energy; like this world has war and illness everywhere, I hope to find a way out!" He said that after years of consideration, he finally spent a year last year with a friend to pen the book. The book also mentioned many friends in the business. in his life before directing, he talked about Teddy Robin Kwan, Cheung Kwok Ming, Kirk Wong Chi Keung. He even mentioned how when working with Tsui Hark he was kept from taking a meal break as a prank. Then in the second half of his life, Chan Tak Sum admitted that he had help from many benefactors. One of them was music maker Peter Kam Pui Tat, Another was Lawrence Cheng Tan Shui, who during the RTV era went from special contract to the same screenwriting team, who was his groomsman and asked him to make the first movie. Does Director Chan have any new project currently? Chan Tak Sum pointed out that his action films would take over 100 people. With the pandemic investors worried about any hindrance would halt production. "I feel the pandemic probably would disappear so quickly, but of course I hope that it would be gone soon. all the co-production projects I thought up have been halted. I may work with Taiwan, but film couldn't wait. Hong Kong has over 20,000 to 30,000 film workers, but only 2 to 3 films are in production. Some for a living switched to television. Although it's a way to survive, in the long run filmmakers ultimately want to make movies." * (2022/04/25) ViuTV's second annual CHILL CLUB AWARDS 21/22 last night took place at Kowloon Bay International Trade and Exhibition Center's Star Hall. This year the music competition has been fierce, several awards went from originally one to gold, silver and bronze prizes. In particular this year the "Band" and "Group" Award categories were split and divided into gold, silver and bronze prizes to increase award opportunities for singers. Each awards were voted for online, with over 1.38 million people participating in the vote. An average of 170,000 people voted for each award. Anson Lo Hon Ting and Joyce Cheng Yun Yi won their first "Singer of the Year" gold prize. MIRROR as the favorite repeated with the "Group of the Year" gold prize. Anson Lo with MEGAHIT won "Song of the Year". The 12 members of MIRROR swept up a total of 9 awards. As the first award show to take place under Hong Kong's fifth wave of the pandemic, CHILL CLUB AWARDS 21/22 last night welcomed around 1,200 live viewers, less than the 50% admission restriction. The stage was different from last year as it was four sided. At the same time the attending singers' seats were a little more separated to maintain social distance. MIRROR's 12 members were seated in several rows in the singer section. Whenever MIRROR fans saw any movement from their idols in their seats, they would scream their idols' names out of excitement as cheers followed one after another. Aside from the "Song of the Year" winner being able to perform the award winning song, the event arranged for different award nominees to perform together in teams. During the show's opening number, MIRROR member Edan Lui Cheuk On led a medley with a performance of MR. E A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS and the live audience immediately shrieked. Then Janice Vidal (Wai Lan), Jay Fung Won Him, Phil Lam Yik Hon, C AllStar, Vincy Chan (Wing Yi), Keung To and behind the scenes music makers appeared and continued the medley with MISS SOMEBODY, FOR THOSE WHO STAY, FOR THOSE WHO HAD LEFT and other songs. Keung sang and danced with MASTER CLASS. Vincy Chan (Wing Yi) appeared in a provocative look. MIRROR even received stage firework effects when they appeared and performed their song BOSS, leading to cheers all around. Due to this year's fierce music competition, several awards were split into gold, silver and bronze prizes, and the "Band of the Year" category was added. Dear Jane rose from the "bronze prize band" of the past to win the gold prize. MIRROR as the favorite with 117,997 votes repeated with the "Group of the Year" gold prize victory. MIRROR and its members' 5 nominated songs all won, as the group swept up 9 awards -- one more than last year. Anson Lo with 101,028 votes won his first "Male Singer of the Year" Gold Prize. His MEGAHIT also with 91,219 votes won "Song of the Year". When the award was announced he was pleasantly surprised. Anson Lo were teary eyed and stuttered, saying that looking back at his start four years ago without the appearance of MIROR no one would notice or know him. He even pointed out that no matter how tired the 12 of them were they would not mind. He was happy that he was able to something he liked everyday and promised that MIRROR would keep working hard. When he accepted the Song of the Year Award, Anson Lo said, "I won't give up making dance songs that I like." Keung To with MASTER CLASS won CHILL CLUB Top Ten Songs of the Year third place. He jokingly thanked "Kam Lo Fa" as he merged the company's three high ranking executives into one nickname. He admitted that last year on the stage he said that he believed they would be able to become Asia's number one. After a year, everyone was Asia's number one in his heart . He really loved this place. As long as no one would give up on them, he would always sing for everyone here. Cheng Yun Yi with 84,691 votes won her first "Female Singer of the Year" gold prize. She jokingly thanked everyone for voting for this "middle aged woman". She thought that she had no chance at winning because she was not a trendy person. CHILL CLUB was a very CHILL place. She told stories that she was afraid to tell here. Sweeping up 6 awards as the big winner last year, Terence Lam Ka Him this year only won 3 but still was the singer with the most individual awards. Lam Ka Him won the Creative Singer award last year. This year with the gold, silver and bronze prize split, Lam Ka Him as the favorite won gold with 112,592 votes. Fung Won Him and Serrini won silver and bronze respectively. As for group and band this year the categories were divided into two. Dear Jane with 89,523 votes defeated RubberBand for the Band gold prize. Lead singer Tim Wong Tin Ngo spoke too fast and mistakenly said, "With you there is no us" instead of "without you there is no us." Member Howie Yung Hau Leung joked that they joked that they often were the bronze winners. They were happy to have everyone's support. In addition, Rookie of the Year also added gold, silver and bronze prizes. MC Cheung Tin Fu and Edan Lui Cheuk On again competed after the "Ultimate Music Rookie Male Singer" award. Finally MC with 112,929 votes won the CHILL CLUB Rookie of the Year gold prize. When MC learned that he won his mouth was wide open, then said that he was very happy. He said that after he started he learned the importance of the behind the scene team and hoped that everyone would value the production team. Edan and 193 (Denis Kwok Ka Chun) won silver and bronze respectively. Edan said that he was both happy and conflicted. "I have been very lucky, I had a great start. I had both the support of the company and was a member of MIRROR. With my series and program performances, many people noticed me. I have to live up this attention." The chance was rare but also very needed, he hoped that everyone would pay attention to music makers with heart in the music scene. Only then would it fully bloom. ERROR's 193 on the stage continued to display his dare to speak nature. When he accepted the award 193 asked as if he knew he did not have enough substance, "Was there a vote? If it wasn't for voting I wouldn't be here." He thanked the fans for their support and hoped that next year his ERROR group band Poki Ng would win the Rookie of the Year prize while Dee Ho Kai Wa would win Best Television Actor. Behind the scenes award winners were "Song Writer of the Year" Wilson Ng Lam Fung, "Lyricist of the Year" Wyman Wong Wai Man, "Song Arrangement of the Year" Ariel Lai and "Producer of the Year" Edward Chan. Ng Lam Fung was shocked when he was announced the winner. He said that once he hoped everyone would not only remembered that his name was "Lam Fung". He believed that after his night, everyone would remember to call him "Ng Lam Fung". Currently in Europe, Wong Wai Man sent a video speech and revealed that aside from work he also began an experiment. "If you want to write something that would breathe together with Hong Kong people, would you need to be present? If the experience would be successful, it would be able to provide even more possibilities for Cantonese songs and many other Hong Kong style artistic creations. From now on no matter which corner of the universe we are in, as long as we continue to make Cantonese songs, continue to listen to Cantonese songs, we would be able to build a Cantonese song metaverse that would self sustain without any interference." Wong Wai Man reminded everyone: if they wanted to support him, from now on they could just continue to pay attention to his work; they would not need to nominate him for awards like the "The 100 Most Beautiful Men Around the World". Meanwhile, when Alfred Hui Ting Hung performed PANDEMONIUM, someone might have forgotten to turn off the microphone as a male voice kept saying "the whole thing is great", "the whole thing is perfect". The online discussion got heated as some felt that such mistakes should not happen.

One of the lead actresses Stephy Tang Lai Yan would head to Udine alone to represent the "whole family". "Family members" Dayo Wong Tze Wa, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Ivana Wong Yuen Chi and others all shot videos to cheer her on. Wong Tze Wa even demanded for her to bring gifts back. Stephy said that due to the pandemic she was unable to leave home for two whole years. This time going abroad she felt nervous and happy about, bringing "the whole family" heart warming blessing and gift lists to the flight wit her. On the rare trip to Italy, Stephy of course would fight for time to sightsee. She said, "I am very happy to bring TABLE FOR SIX to Italy. Now even on the streets I can smell the fragrance of rice and roast pork. As Big Brother (Wong Tze Wa) said I hope to bring a local product (award) back to Hong Kong, along with cappuccino. Remember to wait for me for dinner." * (2022/04/24) Cinemas returned when the government eased social distancing measures. The film BREAKOUT BROTHERS 2 (TOH YUK HING DAI 2) finally was able to be scheduled for a release on April 28th. Yesterday an advanced screening was held. A group of actors including Patrick Tam Yiu Man, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, Ron Ng Cheuk Hei, Adam Pak Tin Nam and Ken Wong Tak Bun attended the audience appreciation event. BREAKOUT BROTHERS 2 waited for months before it could be released. Tam Yiu Man said that this promotion was the best attended by the cast among the BREAKOUT series. He was very happy to see people to be able to have more normal entertainment and hoped that everyone would go to the movies to support it. He also pointed out that when the pandemic closed cinemas the last time, some watched the film on illegal platforms. Now the cinemas opened up gain, he hoped that viewers who have seen it would go to the movies again to support it. Speaking of the film company's arrangement for BREAKOUT BROTHERS 3 to be released soon after, Wong Tak Bun said that to be able to do it in one breath was a good thing. After watching the second film the audience would follow with the third. In addition this time each character was very distinct and the roles were evenly split. "I hope everyone would officially go to the movies and watch it. I am happy to be able to return to the movies too!" Tam Yiu Man praised Ng Cheuk Hei for breaking out with the addition of his character. Wong Tak Bun praised that he fought well and would be an action star in the future. Ng Cheuk Hei joked that he was no spring chicken, actually in the film he was a troublemaker who turned the prison upside down and even played the big villain. However his acting bug was able to get its fill. Would he worried that his fans would not like him as the villain? Ng Cheuk Hei said that would be good as it would prove that the audience really got into the movie. Would he bring his rumored girlfriend Hana Kuk Chi Kiu to see the film? He answered, "Anyone who like me should go and see it, I don't care if she would like me or not after watching it. Ultimately anyone who likes me now should go to the movies and see it!" However Kuk Chi Kiu reportedly visited his home at night and never left. Would bring her home to watch be a little more comfortable? Ng Cheuk Hei clarified, "Actually you should investigate further, that's not my home and we aren't living there together! It's all wrong, since it's not a fact I am not responding to it!" Tam Yiu Man joked that in front of his brothers he had to tell the truth? Ng Cheuk Hei said, "Everything I said is true, thank you!" Was he single or dating? He said that talking about the movies would be better. He did not want to get too far off topic. Tam Yiu Man chimed in that actually life was like film. Ng Cheuk Hei joked in an exaggerated way, "That's enough Brother Tam, I thought you came to help me. I didn't think......thanks a lot!" Would Ng Cheuk Hei be a good boyfriend and a good husband? Tam Yiu Man joked, "Since he fought so well he certainly could protect people!" Ng Cheuk Hei helplessly chuckled, "Me again, anyway the movie is great!" * (2022/04/24) The Bob Lam Sing Bun host program INSPIRATION 360" invited guests from different areas to tell their own life stories in 360 seconds. With a legendary life, screenwriter Yuen Kai Chi after finishing school in Canada returned to Hong Kong and joined Shaw. In three short months he was promoted to assistant director and screenwriter. At the time his superior Chiang Kwok Ming introduced him to Director Tsui Hark, and he wrote his claim to fame A CHINESE GHOST STORY (SIN NUI YAU WON). After that many people asked him to write scripts. Finally in two or three yeras he wrote 20 to 30 hit film scripts. With the early success in life, Yuen Kai Chi led a life of luxury and indulgence. Unfortunately he had a car accident and lost the use of his legs. Despite falling from grace he still remained positive. He said, "I was in a coma for over two months. I learned that I was crippled, but I could continue to write scripts. So I need not be afraid! Finally with that I won over Miss Nurse. In order to get married I immediately worked hard on writing scripts. Unfortunately the more hurry I was in the worse I wrote, after that no one asked me to write another script." Yuen Kai Chi even shared an experience of being looked down upon. One film company boss was eating fried chicken while reading his script, then he said that he only crashed his car out of bad luck, and that his script would have a very hard time with turning into another hit. He immediately tore up two pages to wipe his hand. Yuen Kai Chi in order to make a living tried switching jobs, but none lasted long. After his wife's encouragement he again picked up the pen and wrote scripts. Finally with scripts like DRUNKEN MASTER 2 (JUI KUEN 2) and FIGHT BACK TO SCHOOL 2 (TOH HOK WAI LUNG 2) he returned to form. Although he experienced piracy and the finanical storm, he still caught the eye of famous director Feng Xiaogang and was invited to work in the North. After numerous rises and falls in life, he deeply believed that even if you fell, as long as you were willing to get up you could resolve any problem. Yuen Kai Chi and his wife's love story was also sincere and touching. Yuen Kai Chi thanked his wife for keep supporting him. He admitted, "If I had to give up alot in order to be able to run into you, I would be ready and willing." The audience was left in tears. * (2022/04/23) As the fifth wave of the pandemic grew severe, the government early this year tightened social distancing and closed entertainment venues like cinemas. Two days ago (Thursday) as the social distancing restrictions were eased, cinemas finally opened again. Many films were released. Because it was not a public holiday, people had to go to work and school. With the 50% capacity limit on cinemas, the single day box office was average. FANTASTIC BEAST: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE performed the best with HK$ 1.79 million. In second place MOONFALL made HK$ 400,000. In third was the animated film SING 2 with HK$ 110,000. The Louis Koo Tin Lok, Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Jessica Hester Hsuan and others starred Hong Kong film G STORM (G FUNG BO) only made HK 14,000. The return engagement of ANITA made HK$ 12,000. * (2022/04/23) The Hong Kong International Film Festival Association yesterday announced the 46th Hong Kong International Film Festival wil open on August 15th. Best Actor Aaron Kwok Fu Sing for the fourth year in a row would be its ambassador. Internationally renowned photographer Wing Shya was again invited to shoot an all new series of promotional photos. Sing Sing was very happy about the news. They previously worked together again on 2018. Sing Sing said that hence they were full of chemistry. He also lamented, "Last two years have been full of tests and challenges for everyone. The effects on us film workers have also been rather severe. Although recently the Omicron variant has been rampant, as film productions gradually resume I can see signs of revival." He encouraged everyone to face it with a optimistic and positive attitude. "I wish the film industry would revive as soon as possible. Everyone would have even more good movies to share. I would do all I can to promote the film festival, and I wish everyone peace and good health." * (2002/04/23) After years of preparation and gigantic amount of investment, the science fiction action film WARRIORS OF FUTURE (MING YUT JIN GEI) will open this year. Yesterday was April 22 Earth Day, the film invited Hong Kong meteorology and former Hong Kong Observatory deputy chief Leung Wing Mo to examine today's life and talk about how to reduce the climatic crisis through the film's background -- an Earth that due to mankind's excessive use and war became a wasteland that halted civilization. Leung Wing Mo mentioned that currently disasters that extreme weather has led to have already appeared around the world, including severe storms, draughts, floods, massive wildfires. The problem would only be how much worse it would deteriorate to in the future. "If the situation is only half as bad as WARRIORS OF FUTURE depicts, the situation is already very bad because mankind's quality of life would completely vanish." He explained, "In the ecological system, the collapse of a system would lead to a domino effect and create other systems' collapse. The 'point of no return' isn't a change that scientists can grasp. When the environmental damage would reach the 'point of no return', it would lead to tremendous trauma and destruction. Even I don't dare to imagine what the consequences would be then. The story that appears in WARRIORS OF TOMORROW might possibly occur for real." To reduce the threat that the climate crisis would bring, Leung Wing Mo suggests for everyone to reduce waste. "Hong Kong has a very complete mass transportation system. Everyone can drive less and use public transportation more; travel less by plane and travel locally instead, discover the beautiful side of Hong Kong, eat less meat and more vegetables could also reduce carbon release." The most important is to elevate the heart of protecting nature. "For example during the pandemic, many would go camping. If they make a fire on grass to cook, the organic carbon and nutrient in the earth after being burnt would become useless. If tragically the fire leads to a wildfire, the damage would be even greater." * (2022/04/22) Cinemas after closing for over 3 months yesterday opened up again with the first stage easing of social distancing measures. Film releases included ANITA, G STORM (G FUNG BO), FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE SECRETS OF DUMBLEDORE, MOONFALL, SING 2, CUBE, and DRIVE MY CAR. Ming Pao reporters yesterday visited many Causeway Bay cinemas and saw few viewers bought tickets. Most shows had poor admission rates. Viewers "Mr. Chan" and his girlfriend watched MOONFALL. He said that he bought the tickets online two days before. Tickets were not hard to buy and he had coupons. He wanted to watch the movies so he went. He felt that the government's pandemic prevention measures that required cinemas to close for a long period were unreasonable. People needed entertainment; as for the requirement to show the proof of vaccination for going to the movies, he felt that it would probably protect everyone. "Mr. Kwok" and his girlfriend also saw MOONFALL. They were happy that cinemas returned because they liked watching movies, even though they were unable to eat and drink they were fine. A couple brought their two sons to watch SING 2. They believed that cinemas would take the full pandemic prevention precautions. After entering they would not remove their mask to eat or drink. Hong Kong Theaters Association said that although cinemas returned, the advanced sales from a few days ago were normal. Although yesterday many movies opened, some were already released before the closure or overseas. New films were few. The total box office estimate of the first day would be average. It would take awhile before a return to normal level. In addition the current admission limit was at 50% capacity, some film companies mainly wanted to wait and see. They were waiting for further restriction easing before arranging for releases. They believed it would take 3 to 6 months before returning to the normal levels. As for how to help the industry, the Association said that theaters must save themselves. "Take the full pandemic prevention precautions so the audience would feel safe. Earlier the Association fought for 85% admission rate with the government, but ended up with 50%. We were very disappointed, couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. We hope the government would ease the admission restriction soon." * (2022/04/22) G STORM (G FUNG BO) was released on New Year's Eve last year for 6 days before the pandemic ceased all cinema operations. After almost 4 months cinemas returned, the film yesterday opened again as well. The cast including Louis Koo Tin Lok, Julian Cheung Chi Lam, Kevin Cheng Ka Wing, Jessica Hester Hsuan (Suen Huen), Bosco Wong Chung Chak, Louis Cheung Kai Chung, DaDa Chan Jing, Michael Tse Tin Wa, Toby Chan Ting Yan, Wilfred Lau Ho Lung and others was rather grateful, since the audience would be able to see the film again. As the anti-corruption storm film series' final chapter, the production was heavily invested. The Space Museum explosion near the end was a lot of fun for viewers. Playing a G4 agent, Chilam was required to lead Jessica, Toby, Si Hing and Xia Yan out of the explosion and run for their lives! Chilam said that he and Jessica have not worked together for years, but both stayed in great shape. He said, "with Jessica actually it really was just we just finished working together yesterday. I didn't feel any different from working together again. Of course her acting is even more mature, and I see that she is very serious on the set. She hopes to make every line of dialogue, every shot its best, she really is an actor with a lot of potential!" Jessica said that this time the entire G4 team worked very pleasantly together, behind the svcenes they would chat, joke around, the atmosphere was great. Playing a G4 agent, Chan Ting Yan also put in a lot of effort. He needed to put on a bloody make up and ran bare foot on the uneven ground. However before hand she already taped up her feet to protect them. [ In Production Now/Soon ] Can : Noi Mok Lit : Inside Information d.

[ THE FILM CATALOGUE ] Adapted from the award-winning Hong Kong cult manga series "City of Darkness", this action thriller is set in the eighties inside the dangerous and enigmatic Kowloon Walled City which was a de jure Chinese enclave within British colonial Hong Kong. The walled city is populated by people in the lowest strata of society, among whom are various colorful and kung-fu savvy characters: e.g. a Vietnamese immigrant biding time for revenge, an ex-boxer on the lookout for his kidnapped girlfriend, a katana wielding martial arts boy wonder from Temple Street, as well as a local gang leader and his loyal friend. When the British Hong Kong government tries to demolish the Walled City once and for all with the help of a Triad kingpin and his ruffian underlings, they gather all the residents in the enclave behind them to fight against the invaders and protect their homes and properties.

Opening April 28 2022 at the Udine Far East Film Festival Site : https://www.fareastfilm.com/eng/film/legendary-in-action/?IDLYT=7505 [ UDINE FAR EAST FILM FESTIVAL ] Bill "Tiger" Cheung is a Hong Kong film director who suffered an immense career comedown. Years ago he’d won a best director trophy at the Bucheon film fest in Korea and he was riding high with promise. But an early feature flopped at the box office, investors lost interest and he became mired in shooting crummy shorts. When the chance comes to make a wuxia film for a dodgy backer, he leaps at the opportunity and gives it a shot – not for financial gain, but for deeply personal reasons. As a child, Cheung had been enthralled by the martial arts TV series Seven-Star Sword. Yet his memories of the show were soured by its sudden turn in the 30th and final episode. Star Master Dragon had been booted out for that instalment and now, decades later, Cheung still feels the show is incomplete. Studio space is booked for a remake, and through chance encounters Cheung stumbles into hiring the now elderly Master Dragon as lead actor and a beer girl without acting experience as co-star. As the production moves from minor farce to the risk of failure, and with Cheung's devotion to the film causing marital strife at home, the director must work miracles to make everything come together.
